Sorry to miss yesterdays blog though not a great deal happening out here except a pleasant 162nm day and still no fish caught.

This morning we were very determined to continue our chase for a fish dinner. Line into the water just after day break and wham! Within 5 minutes our reel of 80lb line was almost spooled, snapping the line after applying a great deal of drag to hopefully stop this fish. No chance. It was a big and powerful fish(or shark) and we are planning a chicken dinner tonight...

At present we are 1700nm as the crow flies from Horta.

Kind regards,

Andy Hackett
